#1 Bomb

Henner Schroder uses molds made from a mixture of crushed volcanic rock and dry clay to produce his heavily layered pieces. The casting involves a team of up to twelve people who do a dry run to ensure that everyone’s actions are clearly choreographed before tackling the molten glass. In #1 Bomb the thick black paint, minelike protrusions, and red-lined window evoke a sense of war and destruction.

"These disparate images, combined into a new composition, create a novel vignette that tells its own story." Henner Schroder, 1999
